i've been shipping orders overseas for 10ish years, and since online shopping is practically the norm now, the process of filling out customs forms and printing shipping labels is much more streamlined. this is generally a good thing.

but it's funny to realise that in the 'good old days', i've managed to ship items that are technically not allowed in certain countries. i've written descriptions of my merch, and obviously customs on the other side have not cared enough to reject any of my parcels. i'm just now finding this out because customs forms are online now and the systems stops me from trying to send things before i manage to print a shipping label.

for example, shipping playing cards into brazil, italy, spain, and certain other countries is prohibited. no written reason as to why, but folks online speculate it's either to eliminate overseas manufacturer competition, to discourage shipping of valuable collectibles, or because of anti-gambling laws.

shipping playing cards into mexico is allowed, though games/card games aren't. but since playing cards and game cards share the same hs tariff code, i still can't ship any there.

shipping playing cards to germany is allowed, but only for wrapped single decks.

shipping printed/illustrated postcards to germany however is not allowed. and another warning pops up to warn you against shipping images of porny, racist, gory, or other sensitive material eg propaganda.

shipping printed/illustrated postcards to new zealand is not allowed, though 'plain postcards' are. not too sure what the difference is there.

it's a bit of a pain but i do believe that laws are, mostly, there for a reason. so i'm actually very curious as to the reasoning behind some of these prohibitions. and if any of you out there have funny stories about trying to ship something somewhere i'd love to know.

Unfortunately that story about felix martinez the cat is fake, likely based off an actual story about a different cat. i found out from this thread after reblogging that post from you so i thought i'd pass the correction on! https(://)www.tumblr(.)com/elveny/821732377723305984/hi-alas-youre-the-third-person-i-contact-tonight

unfooooortunately for my poor dog it's most likely small bowel cancer

she's got fluid in her abdomen and fluid in her chest but she's not letting that dampen her spirits aha,ha,ah

we'll see how many more good weeks we can have together

[risingoflights]

of course, it may also not be small bowel cancer. that old saying about something looking and quacking like a duck being a duck is unfortunately not applicable to medicine, where frequently a number of things present with extremely similar symptoms. barring a gut biopsy - invasive, and not always reliable - it's not possible to tell, and a biopsy is pointless if results won't alter treatment. if it were bowel cancer, chemo would be painful and only minimally effective, so that's a moot route. which leaves us with some other differentials that, while less of a death sentence, are not necessarily easier to manage. but, managing for these other conditions is our best path forward, so that's what we're doing.

i think it'd be hilarious, honestly, given we're now mentally steeled for the worst, if she bounced back with treatment over the next couple of weeks. it'd make me feel both incredibly grateful and incredibly silly with the amount of crying i've already done and the amount of sleep i've lost. but we're doing our best to get there, her included. despite being very tired and very thin she's still insistent on her usual comforts and no less affectionate. we love her very much.
